(Her feathers are trimmed only below her vent), the rest is just kind of naked. This is after a bath. I’m assuming she’s got an infection… she has had diarrhea for a a long time with undigested bits. I treated her topically for vent gleet which seems to be gone but she still has all of this...
Hi guys! This is a strange question. I have a faverolle and she has been pooping like this for more than a year. I’ve treated her for worms, we did figure out we had some mites and they are gone, she’s currently on the fourth day of treatment for vent gleet after the mites gave her that. But her...
Hello all! Hurricane season is coming next month here on the NC/VA border. I'm wondering how you guys protect your flock? This will be my first time having chickens this time of year. My coop and run can withstand the wind. Their coop and connected small run are covered but my larger run...
I'm attempting to move two chicks in with some older chicks 4 and 7 weeks old... And my barred Rock mix is aggressive and a bad influence on my other older pullet. They are terrorizing my salmon faverolle. She's an easy target. They mostly leave the Rhode island red alone. I moved the bad Apple...

Ok, so I built my coop last week and this weekend I stained and waterproofed it inside and out, I have to block some drafts this weekend but otherwise I feel like it's ok. It's the Cumberland coop from TSC... wasn't great quality but I glued all of the pieces together and added three coats of...
My chick doesn't seem to like meal worms... 3 others would kill for them... My RIR doesn't care for them lol. Am I the only person who has a weird chicken like this?
Hello! I am a new chicken mom... and one of my one month olds seems very thin. it's growing very slowly (it's a barnyard mix so who knows, could be a bantam?) It's almost half the size of my other one and I can feel its chest bones and everything. I feed them regular medicated chick feed. they...
My name is Painter Jane....
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I'm new to chickens. my chicks are a month old and one week old :) My Mother in law happened to bring them home for my niece for easter. (I know... I know...) and I ended up volunteering to take...
